Classically designed, modernly appointed, family style South Carolina beach home
About this house rental
Nestled in Edisto Beach, this lovely house for $695 per night is a great option for your next vacation. Over the Intracoastal waterway and under Spanish moss-draped grand oaks you have arrived in a timeless place, a haven for all God’s creatures, a hidden fountain of youth called Edisto Island. Our tiny paradise with its pristine beaches has been virtually untouched by commercialization and is one of the last undeveloped islands on the Atlantic coast. Edistonians cherish their cultural heritage which dates back to 1570 when Spanish missionaries attempted to convert the Edistow Indians. The golden era began in 1790 and lasted until the Civil War when plantation owners amassed huge fortunes from the highly prized, long staple cotton. The Sea Cloud house name derives from the 19th century marriage between and contraction of the Seabrook and Mc Cloud family names. The newlyweds chose the name for their antebellum mansion sited upon a cotton plantation here on Edisto Island. Your Sea Cloud was built in 1995 by Karin and Al Gleaton (Columbia, SC) and R.H. Belser, III (Charleston, SC). We are, as you can imagine, proud owners. We are pleased to be your hosts and desire your vacation to be memorable. Sea Cloud's facade displays the traditional Charleston design double stairway ascending to a veranda. Our 40 ' front porch has comfortable seating, is shaded mornings and afternoons and faces East, towards the morning sun and the ocean. Entering the house through double French doors is the main salon with four equally sized bedrooms tucked away on each corner of the main floor for maximum quiet and privacy. The colorful (Lime, Aqua, Navy, Yellow) bedrooms have queen-sized beds, ceiling fans, ample closets and are connected to big adjoining bathrooms, accessed via a hallway connecting the bedrooms. Each bedroom also has a unique design feature : separate, mirrored vanity and sinks in each room. We remodeled one bathroom in April 2022, enlarging the shower space and adding a rainbird and wand shower system. The driftwood ceramic tile and new glass shower enclosure with stainless fittings is gorgeous ! The spacious upstairs loft has four more beds (2 queen and 2 twins), a sunny children's play area, and a spacious bathroom with a double basin vanity, skylight,, and full bathtub & shower enclosure. The vaulted-ceiling main salon combines the living room, dining room and a superbly equipped kitchen. White marble counters were installed in April 2022. A 160 square foot screened porch, off of the kitchen in the back, is carpeted and features cushioned seating, a picnic table, and a large refrigerator for your extra drinks. A smaller, open-air, back deck was designed to capture a 50 foot tall ancient live oak tree rising through the deckboards. There's a new (June 2022) walk-in shower stall (with hot and cold water) on ground level and a large, pro style barrel-style charcoal BBQ grill. The house is built 10 feet off the ground which helps to both capture the ocean breezes and provides covered parking underneath the house for six large cars. We installed a spacious, exterior cargo lift pursuant to multiple patron requests and it has become a popular feature and valuable timesaver for moving your things from the driveway into the house. See the info sheet in the house on how to operate it. Sea Cloud is on Myrtle Street, which is one street over from and parallel to Palmetto Boulevard, the main drag. Being off of Palmetto Boulevard is advantageous for two important reasons: 1) it's significantly quieter on Myrtle St. than Palmetto Boulevard 2) it's safe for children to play in the front or back yard. Whaley's Restaurant, our fave burgers and beers joint, is 10 blocks down the street- a short 10 minute walk. Whaley's claims to have the coldest beer and best hamburgers on Edisto Island ! Rental week is Saturday to Saturday during the summer months. Only weekly rentals in the high season. Please note that we do not provide linens, but there is a nearby source on the island (Edisto Essentials) as described in our electronic welcome letter. NO early check-ins, no exceptions. Sea Cloud is often booked back to back and we need the time both for our superb housecleaning service and for us to maintain the home, and make repairs in- between renters. 2023 weekly rates have necessarily been increased due our own costs. This (2022) summer demand has meant near 100% bookings and our comparable metrics demonstrate we are still competitively priced, but with a measurably better "product". See our reviews. Unlimited Internet Service. Please be kind and sign the guest book and write a review on the vrbo.com website (# 462779). Your review is sincerely appreciated and valued. Daily delivery of Charleston’s award winning newspaper, The Post & Courier, is our small gesture of thanks to you for choosing our beach house for your vacation. Remember if y’all enjoyed your visit, tell your friends. If you didn’t, tell us.

We had a great family gathering in this large house. The kitchen was well appointed and had everything we needed to prepare a large meal. The additional refrigerator was a huge bonus. The house was clean and the furniture was comfortable. The elevator lift was very helpful taking heavy items upstairs. I would definitely like to stay there again.

My extended family spent Thanksgiving weekend 2022 at the Sea Cloud. The home was spacious and inviting. Everything was as advertised. There was enough room in the house for large family gatherings and also provided space to just escape.
We liked everything about our time in Edisto and at the Sea Cloud and will definitely visit again when thinking about Edisto!

My family and I stayed at the Sea Cloud and we had a wonderful time! Plenty of space, plenty of beds and we loved the screened in back porch! We rented a golf cart (highly recommend) and went sight seeing every night! Beach access 22 was our favorite spot! Overall we had a great family vacation!

The porches were my favorite and it had a great yard we used for an East Egg hunt!! Would definitely recommend!! The owners were extremely kind and had great hospitality!!

I can’t say enough about Sea Cloud house. Karin, the owner, was so responsive and eager to make our stay perfect. We gathered there to celebrate a special birthday for my husband. The location on the island was wonderful - just two short blocks from the beach! Great amenities and very spacious and well equipped. Two refrigerators really helped with all the food and lots of seating and porches for sitting.

Birthday celebration
Beautiful house. Well equipped. Close to beach. Had excellent weather for December. Upstairs loft area was perfect for all grandchildren. The sinks in bedrooms were very convenient.
The drinking water situation info was rather startling to find out a week before our stay!

We had a wonderful stay. Great location only 3 min walk to the beach. Host was in touch up front with cleaning issues. Suggest host hire a better cleaning service. They are just doing service cleaning. We found huge spider webs in bathroom, layers of dust on ceiling fan blade in bedroom, cups and stuff behind dresser in upstairs bedroom

Very comfortable, well furnished home on a quiet street 1 block from beach access. Loved the back, screened in porch where we relaxed during the day with a good book from the in-house library, and played games after the little ones were in bed. Mostly pros, but a few cons. The refrigerator on the back porch, and the spring-worn couch. We would definitely, and happily, stay in this beach house again regardless of the few cons.

The house is great for adults and children. The bedrooms on the main level has a vanity with storage, ample closet space and the beds are very comfortable. The upstairs is a great place for teens and children; it as ample closet space also with its on bath. Beach is easily accessed with a 5 minute golf cart ride. Overall we had a great experience and will return again.

We loved the layout of the house that gave sort of family bedroom suites on each side of the house. The upstairs loft area was a real plus as a kids’ area. There was plenty of room for all of us to eat together and ways to spread out on the porches and decks. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and cooking supplies. And what a bonus to have two refrigerators! Beach access is in an easy walking distance. I recommend Sea Cloud for your next family gathering!

This is a great place to stay. Plenty of room for large families. Great location to beach, shopping, restaurants, bike trail and everything else Edisto Beach has to offer. House is well kept and clean. Plenty of kitchen supplies and appliances. We had an issue with plumbing and home owner responded with in few hours, showed up the next day and fixed it. Great service. Each bedroom (downstairs) has a sink! Two outside showers have hot water! Upstairs loft is great place for kids to play or watch TV! There is a nice yard area to play and plenty of parking. The front porch, back deck area and downstairs screened in patio are great for hanging out. House is located right along the bike trail that wraps the island. Great house! Will book again.

We loved this house. The proximity to the beach was perfect- it's like a three minute walk. The layout of the house is great for multiple families; there are four separate bedrooms with bathrooms in between for couples downstairs, with kids space upstairs. Ample parking, lots of areas to hang out, both indoor and outdoors, including trees perfect for hammocks. Big kitchen. We would love to come back.

This rental home is very well-thought out. It has large, open spaces to congregate, but it also has suites of rooms that allow for several people to have some privacy. The upstairs loft area with its own TV is ideal for groups of teens or children. It is a short (about 3 minutes) walk to the beach. The outdoor showers, hoses, and sink make clean-up after the beach easy and convenient. The kitchen is well-equipped, if you plan to cook your own meals, but there are a variety of restaurants nearby. We really enjoyed our stay at the Sea Cloud.

Wonderful location. Had cleaning and maintenance issues upon arriving, and owner took immediate attention with them. A tad disruptive for cleaning service to come in and reclean while we were there, but it was okay in the end.
Just two suggestions: New furniture slip covers needed (grungy looking) and purchase of a regular coffee pot would be fantastic for use by big groups instead of Kuerig. Regular coffee pot was a bit odd to use (more like a slow pour over, instead of a one-pot type.)
Would definitely book again.

Great house. Very kid friendly. Short walk to beach. Would definitely book in the future.

We spent a week at Sea Cloud with two families and couldn't have asked for a better time. The layout is ideal, with big sunlit spaces for gathering indoors and out, separate two-bedroom wings for quiet time, and a spacious second-floor bedroom for all the kids. The beach is a three-minute walk away, and well-marked bike paths let you explore the entire island. Edisto is peaceful, friendly, and laid-back, and the homeowners are easygoing, available, and helpful. Highly recommended!
